Pretreatment standards for existing sources.
(1) Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7 and 403.13 , any existing source subject to this subchapter that introduces pollutants into a POTW shall comply with 40 CFR Part 403 and achieve the following pretreatment standards for existing sources:
(2) There may be no discharge allowance for process wastewater pollutants from any battery manufacturing operation other than those battery manufacturing operations listed in tables 72 to 80.
(3) In cases where battery employe shower wastewater containing concentrations of lead exceeding 0.20 mg/l is combined with process wastewaters prior to treatment, the control authority may, under and notwithstanding the provisions of s. NR 211.12 , exercise its discretion and classify battery employe shower wastewater as an unregulated rather than a dilute (F D ) wastestream, for the purpose of applying the combined wastestream formula. Before the control authority may exercise its discretion to classify such a stream as an unregulated stream, the battery manufacturer must provide engineering, production, and sampling and analysis information sufficient to allow a determination by the control authority on how the stream should be classified.
